Time:2017-01-23

Jan.

20, 2017, the Turkey Zetas Phase III 2×660MW

Thermal Power Project constructed

by HEI on EPC basis was officially granted the provisional

acceptance certificate by the

owner, laying the foundation for issuance of final acceptance certification.

The

Zetas Phase III

Project is a landmark project in Turkey. The thermal power plant was contracted

by HEI on Jan. 23, 2013 and it is the first major project in the European

market contracted by Chinese EPC contractors since China's "One Belt and One

Road” Initiative. The

Project was officially

commenced in October, 2014. Over the period of more than two years, the construction

team overcame many difficulties

such as delays in equipment delivery and slow civil work,

until finally synchronizing the first unit to the grid in June

2016 and

receiving TOC certificates

for the two units in September. Now the PAC is issued two and a half months ahead of schedule,

setting a record for the shortest construction period of a 2×600MW units in Turkey. After the units were synchronized, HEI’s

project team continued working

hard to guarantee normal operation, which

wins

the trust of the project owner.

At present, the two units of the project are generating at full

capacity according to the grid

requirements.
